Mental Health

Good mental health is defined by an ideal level of psychological well-being, or the absence of any mental disorder. It is the psychological state of someone who is functioning at a satisfactory level of emotional and behavioural adjustment.

Mental health is equally important, if not more important to physical health. Today, millions of people over the world suffer from various mental illnesses and mental health problems that have a negative impact on the individual’s personality. If you care for your mental health, you will do good to take care of it by preventing mental illnesses because treating mental health problems can take long and are extremely tedious.

Some of the mental health disorders include anxiety disorders, affective disorders, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, impulse control disorders, personality disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorders. These disorders may vary from being mild and well-tolerated to severe and extremely unmanageable.

The management of mental health disorders involves medications, psychotherapy and psychological counselling which can take months, if not years of focused therapy.

Several dietary supplements have been used on a regular basis for maintaining good mental health or to prevent or alleviate mental health disorders. NutriNZ brings you two of the most potent mental health supplements in the form of Deer Antler Velvet and Sheep Placenta.

Its rich hormonal content and growth factors help in establishing a well-balanced mind and body. These stabilize the various metabolic functions slowing mental and physical ageing.
